Noise / Vibration Information

Measured sound values determined according to ISO 11094 & ISO 3744

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to ISO 11094 & ISO 3744:

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in ISO 11094 & ISO 3744 and may be used to compare one tool with another.

It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.

This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Switch off: release the switch lever (7).

Note: While mowing, lay the connection cable safely on footpaths and on areas which have already been mown.

WARNING!

When the motor has been switched off, the cutter continues running for several seconds therefore do not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter has come to a standstill!

Mowing your lawn (Fig.12)

Select the cutting height which will suit your desired grass height. If necessary, mow in several layers so that a maximum grass height of 4 cm will be cut in one single pass.

Make sure that you will avoid paths which could hamper free movement of the extension cable.

Empty the grass catcher once it is full to avoid obstruction of the discharge opening. To avoid obstruction of the discharge opening and unnecessary motor overloading, make sure that you will not move over any grass left on that part of the lawn you have already mowed.

Blade

Always unplug the lawn mower before checking the blade in any way. After you have stopped the motor, remember that the blade will still keep running for a few seconds before it comes to a standstill. Never attempt to stop the blade. Check at regular intervals if the blade is properly

fastened, in good repair, and whether it is well sharpened. Regrind or replace it, if necessary. If the rotating blade hits any object stop the lawn mower and wait until the blade has completely come to a standstill. Then check the condition of the blade and the blade holder. Immediately replace the blade if it has got damaged.

!To avoid possible damage to you, please make sure to follow the below instructions during operation:

!Never use the machine without rear flap or grass catcher connected. (fig.13A)
Do not attempt to lift up the rear part of the machine, instead, to hold up the front part of machine to get the machine re-start when it fails to rotate owing to too strong grass. (fig.13B)
On slopes, always mow sideways, never up and down. Avoid extremely steep slopes. (fig.13C)
! Never put your hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Always keep away from the discharge opening, if possible. (fig.13D)
